A Few Signs I am Not Ready for Motherhood
Today when I was cleaning the kitty liter I started thinking to myself, "hmmm, maybe Bruce and I should start thinking about kids because then the kids could do this. I wonder how old they have to be before you start having them do chores, like cleaning out the kitty liter?" Yes, I don't think cleaning the kitty liter is any reason to have a child.
Also the other day I went running and I was thinking - I don't understand why you can't leave a sleeping infant alone in the house when you go for a 30 minute run.
Then there was the point where I was so upset with my cat Stanley that I was about to just let him outside, with hopes that he would get hit by a car or runaway. Then when I thought that was too cruel I thought about the pound. I would like to say I am somewhat justified after he decided to pee in a bag full of expensive electronics. Again, I am thinking these are clear signs that I don't have the motherly instinct.
People keep asking me when I we are going to have kids, right now my excuse is that I am in grad school.
You can't leave an infant alone for 30 minutes if they are sleeping? Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteGood thing I have a 4 year old to watch over the little one.
Are you planning on denying your parents the additional grandchildren that they so justifiably deserve?
ReplyDeleteYou will make a GREAT mom...when the time comes. Yes, it will involve lots of sacrifices, such as giving up running so you can become a couch potato, but hey, it's for the kids! LOL! (I'm sure Robert is cringing as he reads this!)
